Well at least we are doing something, even though it isn't much.

ok boykins is cool and all but we need to reach out to SF or center still. why not kwame brown for center Sund/ASG?......wow if we get boykins, we would have 3 PG's!, i dont see why we need this there are other positions that are we are in need of!

[macdaddy]

Jamal will get traded at some point for a big man and they want another ball handler for the motion offense.

[JohnnyCASH]

i dont get why we need boykins but if we did it be a nice pick up

Probably trying to get him on a min deal, lol

i think the Hawks would have been better off with YKW

oh well.... YKW has a home and we have Earl.

Spud Webb 2.0!

I wouldn't mind havin' Earl push the tempo for few minutes... At least it's another option, and the one that fits the bill.

I know Evans is going to play the backup SF minutes but I really wish we'd sign a guy like Jarvis Hayes or Damien Wilkins for that role.

For some reason, I want to say that Boykins has had locker room issues in the past. This is just off the top of the head and I don't have a link, but I thought I remember somewhere Boykins and teammates had issues at some point in time.

That could very well be? He could bring us a good big guy and Boykins would fill the void until we see what the young stud does?:

[Joker]

I love Tiny Earl. He could help offensively since Teague is not ready and Bibby is done. Good move by ASG if true.

[HAWKSFAN89]

Don't understand. We have the guard position filled and our bigs need help, and we go after the smallest player in the NBA? Ok. Cool.

He is always wanting more playing time. I don't think his issues have ever been too disruptive though. I would compare them to the ones Zaza has had in the past regarding his minutes.

We are NOT interested in Boykins anymore. Read further and it was a rumor. The Hawks are still trying to find a big man. Signing Boykins would make no sense and anyone who posted in here saying "good deal" or "i'm ok with this" something is wrong with you. We have enough guards. We need a big.

[Sothron]

I think Cunningham has now show down this rumor.

[frankthetank966]

After all the years of Boykins and ATL rumors it may actually happen.

I think Cunningham has now show down this rumor.

Small Wonder will be a Buck now, signed with Milwaukee for $1.3 mill.

I am glad he went there instead of here. He is a good player but he is 5'5 and is a scorer more then a distributor. I would rather Earl Watson, he has more size and he plays good d. He is also a nice option off the bench.
